The ``to_clipboard`` method can be used to write the contents of a DataFrame to
the clipboard. Following which you can paste the clipboard contents into other
applications (CTRL-V on many operating systems). Here we illustrate writing a
DataFrame into clipboard and reading it back.

.. ipython:: python

df=pd.DataFrame(randn(5,3))
df
df.to_clipboard()
pd.read_clipboard()

We can see that we got the same content back, which we had earlier written to the clipboard.

You may need to install xlip or xsel (with gtk or PyQt4 modules) on Linux to use these methods.

Sure. Correcting that. Had also by mistake put some text at page top.
Removing that too.
@hayd Had copied from #3848, so there also "xlip" needs to be changed to
"xclip" in the docstring :)
